I'm finally back to this game after a long ass time (blame My New Family, had to start a new save and I'm almost 4 updates late on that one). I'll play it from the beginning and see what happens, what changed, the works.
[THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A "SPOILER" OR TWO DOWN HERE]
Regarding Rita, why not just make it a magic duel, man? They're mages, they're not supposed to be beating each other but throwing fireballs, lightning bolts and magic missiles on each other. That's what I was hoping for way back in the day when I first played the game, and I don't know if you remember but I even came here to ask if it was possible to duel Rita in that version. Version 0.2 or 3, or something like that. I even remember seeing this game back when it was called Burgundy Law but I know you've changed it due to something related to WWII and the Nazi, I remember a thing or two about something with that name, a city that they controlled or something like that.
Either way, I'm off to the game. I'll make a review after I've seen all the content (not a pro one, just my honest pov on everything).
